Teachers would waste less of their time writing reports, filling in excursion forms and supervising playgrounds under a new plan to redirect the hours they spend paper pushing and dealing with red tape towards more worthwhile work.
“We know that quality teachers have the biggest impact on student outcomes – by streamlining and simplifying the work done outside of the classroom we can enhance the experience and outcomes within the classroom.” Proposals include streamlining communications from schools to parents, creating an online bank of classroom activities that are directly linked to the curriculum, and providing a place to store and share resources.
The plan comes as the teachers’ union campaigns for higher wages and more planning time, and a new OECD report found Australian teachers’ salaries had grown faster than their international counterparts.

‘Risky move’: Minister approves coal mine despite climate legal challengeFederal Environment Minister Sussan Ley has approved Whitehaven Coal’s Vickery mine extension in NSW, despite ongoing legal action to determine whether she has a duty of care to protect children from new fossil projects’ contribution to global warming. ... Yapping 'fossil' is now a day job for leftards I doubt very much that Sussan Ley understands what she’s doing. She acts as though what she thinks of as ‘the environment’ is just some sort of optional extra to be exploited for profit.
